What are the key differences between NIST SP 800-144 and ISO 27018?

NIST SP 800-144 has 8 controls across its framework, while ISO 27018 covers 45 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 7 overlapping controls (88% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Encryption and Keys, where 1 NIST SP 800-144 controls have no direct ISO 27018 equivalent.

How many controls map between NIST SP 800-144 and ISO 27018?

Of 8 total NIST SP 800-144 controls, 7 map directly to ISO 27018 controls — representing 88% coverage. The remaining 1 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping NIST SP 800-144 to ISO 27018?

1 NIST SP 800-144 controls have no direct equivalent in ISO 27018. The highest concentration of gaps is in Encryption and Keys with 1 unmapped controls. These gaps represent areas where additional controls, policies, or documentation must be created to achieve compliance with both frameworks.

Which control domains have the most gaps between NIST SP 800-144 and ISO 27018?

The domain with the highest gap count is Encryption and Keys (1 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
